RE: Spill Containment - Processors

From:"Weems, Joyce"

Have you checked your overflow bottles, and the overflow tray. Something is
wrong that this much solution would spill. I'd call the company right away!

	Hi everyone,

	I tried to post this yesterday but haven't seen it come across yet.
I 
	apologize if you get it in duplicate.

	We have had a couple of incidents where xylene has leaked from the
processor 
	onto the floor. This has caused a big problem as we're in a brand
new lab 
	and the flooring has been damaged. Currently, we have a spill tray
under the 
	processors, but it's not sufficient to contain a spill of any
meaningful 
	volume. Would anyone be aware of a xylene-resistant tray or lipped
surface 
	that might do a better job?

	Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

	Happy Holidays,
